Sara Smith is a transdisciplinary choreographer and librarian who works across a range of creative practices. Sara creates speculative-documentary performances and other works that explore interconnection and the poetics and politics of embodied and archival research. Their working process is rooted in physical practices of micro-attention and relational transformation.

Sara has been a recipient of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship award in Choreography, and of support from The LEF Foundation, Maine Arts Commission, NEFA, the Puffin Foundation, and residency fellowships from MacDowell, Yaddo, Hewnoaks, and The American Antiquarian Society.
